8,000+ feedback...they should be ashamed.
Recent feedback indicates seller is using deception in photos to hide flaws.

I requested additional photos of this book:

They said once they takes photos for the listing, they don't take any more.

I told them their photos are dark, blurry, and don't show great detail.
They didn't care, so I looked a little closer...
bleeding color touch...blurry/dark photos, and specific angles used to hide flaws(not well enough).

I know some collectors like errors, misprints and the like so we decided to see if it interested any forum members,

I'll add more famous firsts later, this is just to get the ball rolling!]]>Mon, 19 Nov 2018 22:01:24 +0000Mon, 19 Nov 2018 21:12:22 +0000
I do not blame CBCS for not certifying them, I understand there are few to compare to, and I am pretty sure I am one of the maybe half dozen people he signed books from c. 1970 to his death.

My question is how would any of you proceed with certification/preservation. I would like to keep some of the books in the family, but would be willing to part with a few.]]>Mon, 19 Nov 2018 20:18:59 +0000
- One entry (one book) per person.
- Must be a real comic book in circulation.
- Magazine size books are also okay.
- The book does not have to be in your collection.
- Variants acceptable.
- The previous winner is allowed to win in this contest.

Each week we will vote on who had the best cover.

- Friday begins the new contest.
- Wednesday at 12 noon EST is the cutoff which starts voting that will go through Thursday at 11:59 PM EST.
- Please vote through the built in "Thumbs Up" system.
- One vote per person.
- Don't vote early.

The winner will choose the next theme and begin a new thread.

- In the event of a tie, the deciding factor will be if your photo was of a book in a CBCS slab. If both books are not in a CBCS slab then there will be a sudden death tie breaker overtime submission by both contestants.

- Repost these rules in your new thread to keep them easy to find and for new folks who want to play.

The theme this week will focus on places that we’ve visited far, far away from home. From New Genesis to Zenn-La, show us your covers that depict these fantastic & amazing worlds we’ve come to know and love!]]>Mon, 19 Nov 2018 20:01:18 +0000
I just ordered/bought the Superior Spider-Man #1 Virgin cover & I'm looking for his first appearance to also add to my collection. Thanks!

Wow.
So ALL defects are visible through the plastic? Even the ones INSIDE the comics?]]>Mon, 19 Nov 2018 18:19:51 +0000
Going off of last year, we will have a suggested gift value of $20. I'll ask that everybody post on this thread what they tend to collect (i.e. Marvel, Horror, Superman, etc). Gifts are not limited to comics only but should be comic related (tpbs, art, statues, action figures, etc). Then, please pm me your address.

I will try to keep people in the same country together so that shipping doesn't become a huge factor. If you are willing to ship internationally, please let me know in your pm to me.

I will run this same thing on the CBCS Comic Collectors Club on Facebook. These are separate gift exchanges. Signing up for one does not enter you into the other. Please let me know if you want to be in both.]]>Mon, 19 Nov 2018 17:52:11 +0000

community today, back in the 1940's there was a wide variety of
titles on the newsstand...of which I was a very big fan of.
I would imagine the DISNEY'S and LOONEY TUNES were the most
popular but many other titles seemed to enjoy their share of
the comic book market. Without counting I would guess that
about one-quarter of my collection are "Funny Animal" comics.
Here are a few of my favorites...if you have any please share.
